European Wax Center

Melissa is FABULOUS! I’ve been seeing her for all my waxing needs for the past year. She helped my brows grow in (with the help of restore it) and shaped them beautifully in time for my wedding in October. She is a perfectionist and gets all the little hairs out for brazilians and makes the sessions fly by with comfort and ease because each session is filled with laughter and girl talk.
I’ve been a loyal customer to EWC for 3 years now, 2 years at the 4s ranch location and 1 year at Escondido. Each year I somehow keep adding on to my wax packages! Believe me, the unlimited packages for brows, brazilian, and lower leg are so worth it! They don’t have an unlimited lip package, which is a bummer, but I still get the buy 9 get 2 free. If you’re lucky, during some months they have specials for buy 9 get 3 free even if you are a returning customer.
I don’t feel like they push you to buy their products here but I buy them anyway because I think they’re great. I love the slow it down body wash, lotion, ingrown hair serum, and restore it. The body wash really helps with exfoliating and preventing ingrown hairs. Use that serum on the daily because trust me, you DO NOT want ingrowns, especially during those summer months. Restore it saved my eyebrows for my wedding and still make my brow game strong today! Thanks EWC!

Awesome place!!! My eyebrows are back to normal thanks to Danielle… She really knows what she’s doing. She’s great!

The waxers are always nice as well as the front desk girls. The prices are quite fair and the center is always clean and has a positive enviornment. I recommend Dani she was very friendly and didn’t make me feel nervous at all.

I went to European Wax Center when my regular esthetician was unavailable. I was there for a leg wax, made the appt online a couple days before. When I arrived, the receptionist was friendly and helpful and got me checked in efficiently. The esthetician who took care of me did a great job. She was friendly and quick. They use a different wax than I’ve ever had before. It’s a hard wax that doesn’t require the paper strips usually needed. I thought the wax worked well.
I was prepare for the sales pitch, but the esthetician who saw me just pretty much put the two products she recommended on the counter in front of me and I just paid for the service only. So, glad there was no hard sell on the products, but I think my demeanor kind of holds that off, too.
My experience was very positive. The price was reasonable and about the same as I normally pay. The service was well done and in a very clean environment. Everything was efficient. I would recommend for someone in the Escondido area looking for wax services since my usual esthetician is so busy, I don’t want to recommend anyone else to her! haha

If I can give this place 10 stars, i definitely would! I used to go to the one on genessee, but since i moved up north, this location is just a down the street from me. I decided to give this place a try out even though i have a very difficult time changing locations because i’m getting a Brazilian most of the time, so you know what i mean. First time I came in, i didn’t have a preferred waxer, even though i looked up at the previous reviews on here, i decided to take a leap and pray to the waxing gods that i get a wonderful waxer.
When i came in, the lady in the front (Sorry, I forgot your name but you told me if i get a wax pass to refer you to the girl in glasses/​asian one!), she was such a sweetheart. Like, i wouldn’t mind sitting out in the lobby talking to her while i wait for my waxer. She was so nice and made me feel welcomed. Then, when my waxer came out, Adriana, I was hoping she was wonderful. I was not disappointed at all. She was the BEST no preferred waxer i have received. Don’t get me wrong Rya and Mary at Genessee is also wonderful, but since i had to switch locations, i was so glad to have Adriana as my first at this location.
She explained/​walked everything through with me so i knew what exactly what was happening and made sure i felt comfortable the whole time. I thought i would feel uncomfortable because my hooha is just out there, but she made it seem like i wasn’t even getting waxed.
Usually i always flip flop on getting a wax pass, but after coming to this location, it makes me want this european wax center to be my main spot and get a wax pass. So double thumbs up to you girls, can’t wait to get my wax on with you guys more often!

This place is amazing!!! The ladies at the front desk are so helpful and have an answer for any of your questions, the center is spotless and the waxers are so great! I go to any waxer available and they have all been a great experience. Your first time is either free or you get a super great discount on certain services. Come a few minutes early so you have time to sign their form, use the restroom, and a front desk girl will show you the best ways to save money. GET A PASS. It looks like a lot up front but they don’t expire AND they discount all your services! PRODUCTS: I will buy them all! Exfoliate, body wash, body lotion are LIFE-​CHANGING, if you get the brow powder get the brush and shape it too! they make my brows perfect there. Thanks EWC!

I use to go to Anastasia in La Jolla where we had a family business two doors down & it was fabulous & convenient, we sold our business & I can’t see driving all the way in to downtown La Jolla, so I bounced around from one nail salon that offers brow service too & didn’t like the owners trying to sell me some side business venture they were into or the lack of high end atmosphere. Luckily I moved to western Escondido & across the street is any other nail salon who did good work & kept bringing me back & I finally realized there was a brow salon right here under my nose. The place is nice & the brow work is lovely. I have become a repeat customer. The only thing I would tell their corporate office is… Your signage doesn’t pop I didn’t notice your store, & your advertising hasn’t ever come to my different apartments or houses I’ve ever rented, I didn’t know you existed. Now I do & appreciate the affordability & quality of your lab technicians. ***** By the way the 4*‘s are for the front desk, they are customer service focused & I feel valued. Thank You to the entire staff at European Wax Auto Pkwy Escondido CA 92 029!

Absolutely love them. Everyone is super sweet & helpful! Everything is clean & very well kept. Staff if professional and always open to answer questions. I will definitely keep coming back

I love this place, always clean. The receptionists are always very polite. My favorite part of this place is Liz, she is always on time, never makes me feel rushed and always has great suggestions for my skin issues.

I really liked this place. It’s pretty clean, staff are nice, friendly and professional. I love their wax solution, they don’t use stripes and it doesn’t make your skins sticky after. Location is pretty good too. Lots of parking.

OK so I was really nervous to get this Brazillian because the last time I tried one I had a terrible experience at a wax place in San Diego. But I really needed one so I decided to give it another try after shopping at Target next door. Oh. My. Gosh. It didn’t hurt at ALL!!! Tori M. made me feel so comfortable and now I’m buying a package to keep coming regularly. I never thought I would wax again. Love this place.

Danielle was amazing. I came in for a Brazilian wax. She made me feel comfortable, and she made my experience quick and painless. If you get the opportunity book Danielle for your next wax!!!

Have always gone to Jenna, who was the absolute best! However, she is no longer
there, so I given a different «specialist» today. She was not even close to being as
good as Jenna. Noticed hairs missed when I got home, and then, a big clump of
purple wax stuck in my hair. Tried to remove it & couldn’t, so I called EWC & was
told to put oil on it, then wash it out. What a mess… but it finally came out. That
will be my last experience w/​this place. I do have to say the aesthetician was
very sweet.

If you want quick, thorough, excellent waxing, go visit Melissa at the Escondido branch. I have been going there for a year or so and Melissa is GREAT! Since my very first visit till this day, she is always looking for ways to give me the results I want. Thank you for your welcoming personality and excellent work! I always walk out of there pleased with the results. ^_^

I really liked my experiences here so far! My very first Brazilian didn’t go super well, but that may be because it was my very first time ever having one. I didn’t notice any patches or anything like the other reviews say. It wasn’t until my second Brazilian with a different specialist that I fell in love! Danielle really knows what’s she’s doing and does longer strips in order to remove more hair at a single time and not have to do a lot of extra strips. I rebooked with her and ended up buying the student wax pass, (B3G1free) and my second wax with her went even smoother! I highly recommend Danielle! I don’t notice any ingrown hairs or patches ever!

This place is a rip off. $ 18 to butcher your eyebrows and make them look like cousins, not sisters. Do not let them sucker you into buying their packages or products. They are overpriced and snobby. So yourself a favor, and walk down the strip towards Ross– next to GNC is Glamour Brows. They are precise, affordable, and amazing.

Worst wax I have ever got in my life! I had a bikini wax and it was pointless I have a b4 picture and a after … No hair was removed at all! Literally it’s a joke. If I’m not mistaken a bikini wax is a larger triangle left so the top and the sides and your crease from thighs… Lol nothing I still have hair everywhere? Even where the red is that she waxed has huge blotches of hair! Please please please go anywhere else! Trust me!

I started coming to EWC a few years ago, and have since moved a many times. I like most of the wax specialists at the escondido location, like Katelynn and Britni. My waxes usually come out alright. My issue is with the manager and possibly with the company in general. I’ve been put through so much, it makes me want to leave even though I have passes for 4 services. For every location I’ve been to, I have a DIFFERENT profile. That’s about 8 profiles. And every time I come into the escondido location, it takes me at least 30 minutes to check out. So I ask the manager every time I go in if she will please call corporate to merge my profiles. Didn’t happen so after 4 months I just emailed corporate myself. With no apology and no compensation. Im not sure why this happened but I’m seriously considering waiting until my passes expire and going elsewhere.
Bottom line, you might be able to find an adequate waxer here. Worth it? Not so sure. If you plan on moving or going to a different location, don’t expect an easy time. And you can always expect them to try and sell you something every time you’re in there. Their products are great and work, but super expensive!

I just moved in town and I normally go to the Mira Mesa location and have always been so pleased with the service I get. But I came to this location for a Brazilian with Tianna and I have to say it was the worst experience I’ve ever had at European wax center. She didn’t try to make me feel comfortable or anything. The whole time she was trying to sell me on the products even after I said I already have what I need. Even after that she kept telling me she recommended these pointless body lotions and I told her I would think about it. I understand that it’s a part of your job to do this… I’m in sales myself. But she just threw out a bunch of products and tried to sell each one after every objection I had and that is a bad experience for any customer no matter what kind of sales you do. It didn’t feel like a personalized recommendation at all…
To top it off, when I got home, I had wax all over my bikini line which was a pain to take off. I also got my tummy line waxed and it definitely did not look clean. After spending $ 60, I should not have to peel wax off of my skin.
I am definitely never coming back to this location and I would rather drive to Mira Mesa than to come here and feel so pressured when I’m just trying to get a wax.

I’m really happy with the job she did. I had someone butcher my eyebrows before this so it was nice to see she was able to fix them. It’s really relaxing in there too.
